Mark3 P17 Polycarbonate Crowns by Cargus – Pack of 5 Universal Shade

Description

Product Overview

The Mark3 P17 polycarbonate crown series represents a modern approach to temporary and short‑term restorative dentistry. Manufactured by Cargus, a recognized supplier of professional dental supplies, these crowns are fabricated from high‑grade polycarbonate material that combines strength, flexibility, and translucency to emulate the natural appearance of tooth structure. Each crown is engineered with a contour and crimp that closely mirrors the profile of traditional metal crowns, allowing clinicians to achieve seamless adaptation to prepared margins without extensive chair‑time adjustments. The crowns are supplied in a compact pack of five, each sized to fit the standard #17 preparation, and feature a universal shade that can be fine‑tuned using a variety of dental cements, liners, or staining agents. Detailed specifications include a package dimension of 7 × 4 × 1 inches and a lightweight of 0.18 ounces per unit, ensuring easy handling and storage. The product model number 100‑P17 and the ASIN B01JRSBKGI provide clear reference for inventory management. Designed for both short‑term provisional work and longer‑term temporary restorations, these crowns offer a cost‑effective alternative to metal‑based options while maintaining high esthetic standards.

Usage

The Mark3 P17 crowns are suitable for a wide range of clinical scenarios. In a typical single‑unit restoration, the dentist prepares the tooth to a #17 finish line, selects the appropriate crown from the pack, and seats it using a compatible polycarbonate cement. Because the material is inherently translucent, clinicians can adjust the final hue by applying tinted cements or layering techniques, achieving a shade match that blends seamlessly with adjacent dentition. These crowns excel in provisional phases of complex prosthetic cases, such as bridge temporization, where rapid fabrication and reliable fit are essential. They also serve well in pediatric dentistry for temporary coverage of primary teeth awaiting definitive treatment. The crowns’ resistance to fracture and their ability to withstand functional loads make them appropriate for short‑term wear during the healing period after endodontic therapy or implant placement. Additionally, the universal shade provides flexibility for use across diverse patient populations, reducing the need for multiple inventory colors. The crowns can be employed in both private practice and institutional settings, supporting efficient workflow and patient satisfaction.

FAQ

Can the universal shade be altered to match a specific tooth color?

Yes, the universal shade of the Mark3 P17 crowns can be modified using tinted dental cements, liners, or staining agents. Clinicians can apply a thin layer of colored cement to achieve a closer match to the patient’s natural dentition, allowing for a seamless esthetic result.

What is the recommended cement for seating these crowns?

Polycarbonate‑compatible cements such as resin‑based provisional cements or glass ionomer cements are recommended. These cements provide adequate bond strength while allowing easy removal when the final restoration is placed.

Are these crowns suitable for long‑term temporary use?

While primarily intended for short‑term provisional applications, the durability and resistance of the polycarbonate material make the Mark3 P17 crowns viable for longer‑term temporary restorations when a definitive prosthesis is delayed.

How do I determine the correct size for my patient?

The Mark3 P17 crowns are sized for a #17 preparation. Verify the tooth preparation dimensions and select the crown that best aligns with the prepared margin. The pack includes five identical crowns, simplifying size selection.
